attempts to grow a supply of them end up working a little too well

When a "cool" couple moves in next door to the Simpsons, Homer tries to be just like them, but
Marge and Bart have problems with trying to "fit in," and eventually Homer sees the light as
well - but it's the light of the oncoming cars as Springfield is overwhelmed by trendy people

When Homer loses Santa's Little Helper because he's too busy playing VillageVille (which is pretty
much CastleVille without the Gloom and the Beasties and the eight million quests that require you
to plant crops that you have to harvest within 12 hours despite the fact that you're at work most of
the day, but I digress...), Grampa tells the story of Homer's first dog, Bongo

After Homer is involved in a lockdown at a "fun zone" that turns into anarchy (at least for the fathers),
he gets involved with a group of survivalists, which turns out to be a good thing when an electromagnetic
pulse knocks out all electronics and power in Springfield

Thanks to Mr. Burns raising electricity rates, Superintendent Chalmers says that the school with the
poorest test scores gets torn down, and that ends up being Springfield Elementary - or, at least
it was before somebody noticed that Bart didn't take the test; Homer finds a discarded parking meter
and plants it around town to pick up some spare change

A tornado leads Homer and Marge to consider naming guardians for their kids should something happen
to themselves, but when everybody they know is either rejected by them or doesn't want to do it, they
find a "cool" couple willing to do it...a little too willing, it turns out

Mary Spuckler returns to Springfield, but thinks Bart isn't paying enough attention to her,
mainly because he doesn't, and when he tells Marge what he thinks of women in the middle
of a fight with Homer, they both end up out of the house

Homer buys a storage locker, only to discover that it's Grampa's, from the days when he was
wrestler Glamorous Godfrey, the most hated wrestler in the business, but Mr. Burns's favorite;
Burns talks him into wrestling again, but how long can Grampa put up with it when he sees
that Bart is starting to act like Godfrey in real life?

When Ned's father prefers spending time with Homer, Ned ends up punching Homer in the eye;
Miss Hoover is undergoing a bout of severe depression, and Lisa can't figure out why the substitute teacher doesn't like her

Homer takes Marge to what he promises to be a romantic lunch, but when he is more interested in the
food than with her, well, let's just say that you would think that, by now, Homer would have figured
out how to reconcile with Marge; Milhouse adopts a 1950s Marlon Brando-style persona in order to impress Lisa

Springfield is overcome with bedbugs, but the townspeople are calmed by the church's new assistant minister,

the winnings, the others follow him to his homeland - Iceland
This episode may have been originally titled "The Saga of Carl Carlson", but
Fox's press releases refer to it as "The Saga of Carl"

Marge attracts the interest of a married man when she converses him on a site for married
people seeking affairs (under the impression that this "Ashley Madison" site is a "Dolly Madison"
site for people interested in pre-packaged baked goods); Homer tries to hide his 10th anniversary
gift from Marge - a train that used to run at the "expensive" mall
